Directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland.

The music in the back is called “joropo”, the typical music in the Venezuelan folklore. Thank you for including it so beautifully.

[@lunaaddicted]

wow, thank you for telling

Que divino ese joropo 🔥⭐

Musica Regina!🙌🙌🙌

Uwielbiam kolekcje Karoliny Herery, nie wszystkie ale zdarza mi się szyć ciuchy podobne do jej kreacji. Mówię podobne, bo bardzo trubdno jest skopiować Mistrzynię, jaką niewątpliwie jest Karolina.

Mrs Herrera is one of the few of a dying class of women that exude elegance, refinement and education. There aren't too many around .

Carolina Herrera is the definition of class and elegance.

[@Valeria-fl3yx]

Not? She's stupid

[@javiermorales6174]

Not American? She's Venezuelan... (America: from Alaska to Patagony, one of the 5 (7) canonical continents)

[@primeraclase]

I loved the Venezuelan music piano as soundtrack of this video. ❤️

[@mariavictoriaperezdiaz3590]

Do you know the name of the song? Is it Dama Antañona?

[@primeraclase]

PD MV Mm nop.. it sounds like a very slow Joropo. Look for Joropo by Carmencita Moleiro. It’s not the same but are similar.

My ears enjoyed so much this classic Venezuelan sounds. These fantastic melodies in that corner is sublime. Mrs. Herrera have and exquisite eye for fashion, a unique magical vision around the world, maybe a huge fantasy for people, but real. This is second favorite interview in years for her. The first in 2012 with Ismael Cala! Now Wes Gordon, creative director and new face from "House Of Herrera". The new collection Is stunning, beautiful colors so CHIC!.

[@mariajosemercadal7379]

¡Me encantó! Realmente puedo ver como Carolina Herrera estima y confía en Wes Gordon. Siempre he sentido mucha admiración por CH, su elegancia, sentido del humor, disciplina y buen gusto son increíbles. Los mejores 17 minutos de mi día.

Such a lovely interview to watch. I felt the warmth in their relationship through my computer screen somehow. I got so many take-aways from both of you! "A good fragrance is magical...its like an invisible accessory." I admire this lady's work and style so much! Thank you for posting this interview.

Crying during this interview. CH always reminds me of a combination of my mother and grandmother . Mom never left the house without lipstick or perfume, was latinamerican. My grandma loved polkadots and crisp white shirts. Then I saw the chickens on CH mantel. My mom loved chicken/rooster artwork/items. Gave her a set of ceramic ones that would sit amongst her garden.

Carolina Herrera gives that elegance and sophistication that I remember growing up with my Grandmother back in Colombia.

[@marita1977]

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

I have done coverage of CH fashion show at NYFW. It was one of my favorite shows to cover. Her collection is gorgeous and she certainly holds the household name to being mysterious. She never likes to get on the runway. She just pops out and waves and leaves. That’s how she was. Mysterious but fascinating icon of all time.

[@LondonRose01]

Beautiful interview. My daughter loves CH. We lived very very close to the uppereastside CH boutique when she was a little girl, a little girl wearing her perfumes and dreaming of the dresses in the CH window. Now she is a young lady and we live 15 minutes from the CH Mayfair London boutique. We recently bought the most glamourous Taffeta CH dress for her 18th Birthday! Thank you CH! I have also noted to purchase the CH Jasmin tuberose perfume.

[@towrnghrybear]

I have been in love with Mrs. Herrera and her house for 30yrs since I did a report on her when I was in college. My classmates said I only wanted to do my report because I could say her name with a Spanish accent, being able to roll my "R's" saying "Herrera" was just the icing on the Carolina cake. Much Love ...Allen.

Seeing her today with her white hair, as wonderful as ever and with that formidable sense of humor, has moved me a lot. Carolina Herrera is a shining beacon for society and fashion, and no one has embodied the sense of femininity better than her. Wes Gordon is a lovable and very talented man, he understands the boss's gaze very well; without a doubt, he will offer us many beautiful creations (he is already doing it) and he will know how to lead the company on the best path.
